Perfect location and extremely well appointed rental
Before our stay Merris sent an unbelievably thorough welcome letter about the property and the area. When we got there we found the unit to be similarly well-prepared: The kitchen has everything you could need, there’s extra bedding, and the hosts have supplied tons of beach gear. Given the location, the quality of the living space, and all the extras this rental comes with, I really can’t imagine a better way to visit Kauai.

Kauai retreat
We stayed in a clean, well equipped and maintained condo at Kiahuna Plantation. The facilities were manicured and beach front. Was able to rent surf boards for $10/hr and use free lawn chairs/towels. Also, we were able to walk to Po'ipu beach and beach park for swimming and snorkeling. Finally, the athletic club is a short walk with great facilities for the entire family.

Excellent!
We’ve enjoyed many family vacations at Kiahuna Plantation over the years, but this was our first time staying in this unit. It’s in a super location within Kiahuna, remodeled, well-appointed, and clean. We especially loved the morning sun on the lanai, the short walk to the beach, pool, or shops, the AC in the bedroom, and the in-unit beach chairs and boogie boards. The property manager was very responsive and also enabled us to check in early. We would absolutely stay here again! Wonderful trip!

Clean, beautifully appointed gem of a condo!
My family and I have been enjoying Kiahuna Plantation for over seven years and this trip will always have a special place in our hearts. Our condo was perfection! First, it was newly renovated with great flooring, new furniture, paint oh and a huge bonus-AC! The mattress on the pullout couch was very comfortable- which is a “hard” find! The kitchen was well stocked- we ate every meal at home and had everything we needed to do so. My family and I highly recommend booking with Merris! She was super helpful and quick to respond to any questions in a friendly way. We are already planning to come back next year and will miss Kauai and this sweet condo Until next time!

Perfection in Poipu!
We just returned from our amazing Hawaiian vacation and we were so happy that this home on Kauai was our last and longest stay (6 nights). We saved the best for last!! Merris is a fabulous host and provided wonderfully helpful information before our arrival which helped make the check in process easy and efficient. She also provided many terrific recommendations for places and activities that really helped us enjoy the island. The condo was absolutely lovely - spotlessly clean and outfitted with all you need for a relaxing and fun-filled vacation. The decor was updated and comfortable and we felt immediately at home. The kitchen was well-equipped and although we didn't really cook, it was great to have all we needed to prepare easy snacks and meals when we weren't visiting fabulous restaurants. We really appreciated the air conditioned bedroom at night, but also loved the breezes from the large screened doors and on the porch during the day and evening. It was a peaceful and beautiful place to relax! The location is perfect, with lots of nice shops and restaurants only a short walk or drive away. The beach is super close and it was mesmerizing to sit and watch the beautiful surf or be entertained by the surfers who dotted the waves. The grounds are well-maintained, lush and tropical. It was very hard to leave this wonderful place, but we will be dreaming of coming back to Kauai some day! Mahalo Merris for your warm hospitality and your perfect "home away from home"!

Amazing stay and location!
Merris's condo was just as described and a beautiful remodel. It had everything we needed to both explore the island, enjoy the beach and relax. My son loved the egg chair. Merris was very responsive to all our emails and even checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We loved being able to walk out to the beach and take advantage of the athletic club amenities. I would absolutely stay here again if we visited Kauai.

Great Family Location Spot
Family of four with two boys (13 and 10). The property location was perfect for our family. We were able to walk to the beach to enjoy surfing and boogie boarding each day. In addition, we could walk 5-10 minutes to hit Po'ipu Beach and snorkel. We also enjoyed the athletic club and options to do when we wanted to avoid the crowds at the beach. The condo was fantastic and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

Lovely little condo and A/C a plus!
We had a lovely stay and appreciated all of the amenities available in the property such as beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkeling gear. We used the cooler almost every day and were very glad to have a/c to cool the condo for sleeping. The swing chair was also very comfy! The owners provided very detailed instructions, info on the condo and surrounding area, and helpful recommendations on beaches, activities, shopping and dining. We made most of our meals in the condo and found the kitchen functional and fairly well stocked with cooking utensils. All in we had a lovely visit and found everything to be exactly as described on the listing.

Amazing stay and very accommodating!
The plantation is a perfect location and right across the street from shops and restaurants (including Starbucks). The property is gorgeous. The location of this unit (building 23) is perfect. Walking distance to the beach and set back enough to feel private and quite. The unit was beautiful, bright, airy and had everything we needed. We were especially grateful for the AC at night! The master bed was sooo comfy, my husband and I slept like babies. Our kids enjoyed the sleeper sofa. The patio was huge and we enjoyed coffee and reading out there daily. The utility closet with the beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and boogie boards we used everyday! We made breakfast in the room daily and had all the cooking utensils we needed. Our host, Merris, was so communicative and helpful. A few times I had questions and she was very responsive. Also, the house Manuel and area recommendations were very helpful to navigate activities and restaurants- read it! We couldn’t have had a better experience. We really did not want to leave and will absolutely be back!!! Another note on the beach: We enjoyed Poipu beach which was about a 5 minute walk to the left once you arrive at the beach at the plantation. We snorkeled everyday just from the beach with our kids and saw hundreds of different fish and 2 turtles! We were grateful to sit close to the lifeguard stand so we could have a better understanding of safe swim areas at the beach.

She also provides a very informative manual about the entire island of Kauai. As an added bonus, the unit is air conditioned. Highly recommended!

A very special place!
we stayed at another unit a couple years ago. it was ok but showing its age. #157 is exceptional. generously equipped with all the gadgets, beach toys, and a grand kitchen that easily show the owners desire to make our stay memorable. this is a corner unit, so the island breezes ventilate and cool the space. you are tucked away behind another building, so you have a garden view, but can still hear the ocean 100 yds away. the grounds are beautiful, serene, and very well maintained.

Relaxing stay in a wonderful space
Merris’s condo unit was very beautifully decorated, which added to the relaxing feel of our stay. The egg/nest chair was enjoyed by our daughters. The added amenities of boards, snorkel, cooler and chairs made it so easy to enjoy the beach right outside our property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and think other couples and families would love their stay here as well!!

Amazing Property!
We stayed at the property for 10 days and loved it! The pictures accurately show the condition of the property, which is in excellent condition. Everything was clean and neat and in good working order. The air conditioning in the bedroom was a huge bonus and we used it every night. That alone is worth the price of renting this unit! The location of the unit is perfect. It is an upstairs corner unit, so it is extremely quiet. In addition, the unit faces East (toward a beautiful lawn) so we got the morning sunlight on the lanai. FYI: the bedroom is on the west side of the unit so it stays nice and dark in the morning. We had about a 1 minute walk to the beach and we were able to walk to lots of restaurants and other amenities. If you want to stay in Poipu, the Kiahuna Plantation is really the ideal place to stay. The property manager was very nice and always responded quickly to our inquiries. She even helped us with facilitating a last minute request for a late checkout, based upon our flight home being changed a red-eye flight. This is really a 5 star place to stay. The condition of the unit, the property manager and the location are all fabulous. I highly recommend this unit to anyone.

Another Great Stay
This is the third time we've stayed in this unit, twice under the current owners. We would return to it a fourth time in a heartbeat. The unit is well-stocked and clean and a great size for our family of four. The unit now utilizes an outdoor storage closet which helped keep the beach gear out of the condo - and the gear was in really good condition and worked great. We have always loved the location, both as a unit and the plantation as a whole. The unit being an upper corner one along with the layout feels very open and airy and we never even needed the air conditioner with the breeze that would come through. The owners are incredibly responsive if needed and I certainly felt they wanted us to have a great experience while staying at their unit as well. I look forward to getting back there again, hopefully sooner than later!

About the host

Hosted by Merris Delane

Host profile image
A little bit about me...
I went all four years of high school in Paris, France. I then attended University of San Diego. My husband of over 15 years and our 2 girls live in San Francisco. I went from pharmaceutical and medical device sales to becoming a Zumba and fitness instructor. My family and I are big into outdoor sports: tennis, hiking, biking, scuba diving (that's a sport, right?), you name it. Adventure and outdoor activities were two of the main reasons fell in love with Kauai.

We prefer to use VRBO when booking our stays. We choose listings where we feel an owner would be proud and comfortable to stay themselves. We enjoy having the comforts of our own kitchen, the travel tips provided and the incredible cost savings compared to nearby hotels. I don't want to be forced to tip Room Service for bringing me a bucket of ice, paying $6.00 for a tea bag and water or throwing away an expensive lunch because I don't have a fridge or dining room in my hotel room.

We have taken those values and more and provided them for our own guests. Our condo on the sunny shores of Kauai's famous Poipu Beach provides more than a stay. It provides an experience. We host as we would like to be hosted. We offer extensive amenities, prompt communication, honesty, a welcome packet filled with activities and recommendations throughout Kauai. We also welcome guest feedback in an effort to constantly improve. We would be honored to have you in our little slice of paradise.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I had been to Oahu and Maui prior to our first trip to Kauai in June 2018. We fell in love with the island on the first day. All of the activities, variety of sightseeing, incredible hikes and clean beaches really made an impression on us. Kauai does not feel over developed which was important to us. We like that we can fly directly from the West Coast too! We chose our condo because it is on the sunniest part of Kauai and on the best beach. Our huge draw to the property was being on the Kiahuna Plantation. It's so beautiful, convenient, filled with history, well maintained, and well appointed. We lucked out in finding our condo. My husband and I made an offer before our flight and rejoiced when we found out it was ours upon landing! It was meant to be.
